Much of the contents of this article belong in the article about Byrd himself, rather than this one. I don't propose a full merge, just a redistribution. --Brownlee 15:33, 9 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

That's how it's referred to in VA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.253.96.249 (talk) 18:48, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ok... what do we have to do to change the name from Organization to Machine? DEddy (talk) 21:52, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Is this still a valid concern? It seems like there was no opposition to it but no one ever did anything about it. Bradylang (talk) 22:42, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
